The building at the corner of Jules Guesde and Montesy stands out for its sharp, geometric silhouette and deep, dark iron facade that contrasts with the residential brickwork nearby. This is Atelier Akan, an architectural workspace designed to house the firm of the same name. Its structure plays with light through floor-to-ceiling windows, turning the internal drawing boards into a display for passersby. The architects here focus on blending industrial metallic finishes with functional, human-scale design in their city commissions.
